EDIBILITY RATINGS

Star symbols that give an indication of the eating qualities of a particular fish appear at the bottom right of each species account unless the fish is too small for human consumption or if there is no available information. Symbols are as follows: ★ = poor eating; ★★ = fair eating; ★★★ = good eating; ★★★★ = excellent eating; P = poisonous. The star symbols are intended as approximate guides only. Wide variation in the edibility of a given species may be caused by a number of factors of which, degree of freshness and method of preparation are particularly important.
